Hated when people throw out their former ultra slick pricing, making the current good deal not so good in the mind.

Was about to jump until I read a couple of reviews about the HDMI failure issue with this model. Holding off.

The Onkyo 809 has HDMI issues too.

Seriously, does ANY AVR out there NOT have HDMI issues?

I finally got rid of my RPTV in favor of something with actual digital connections, now I need a receiver to switch them but it looks like everything with HDMI has a rash of "HDMI stopped working" complaints.

"Standby pass-through
Standby pass-through is another HDMI-centric feature that enables the receiver to continue to pass audio and video signals over HDMI, even when the receiver is in standby (off) mode. This flexibility is nice for times when you may not want to fire up your full surround sound system (such as late at night), but still want to access your home theater gadgets and use your TV's built-in speakers. Standby pass-through isn't available on every model, so you'll need to need to check the specs to find the right model."

Yes, I recently bought one, Denon AVR-1713. I have zero problems with HDMI. Cannot say the same with Sony's STRDH520 which I tried right before the Denon. As for longevity, don't know yet. It is a 2012 model bought in 2012. I certainly hope the Denon will be good for some time as AV receivers are the only thing the whole company make ever since the very beginning.
